Going into Friday’s championship games at the Fuddruckers State Softball Championships in Albuquerque, the Silver High School Lady Colts softball team only needed one win in two games to bring home another state title. One game was all it took, as the No. 6-seeded Lady Colts blanked Hope Christian 10-0 Friday at UNM’s Lobo Field.

The championship pairing was a rematch of the Lady Colts’ first tournament game on Wednesday, when the girls beat third-seeded Hope Christian 2-0. It’s the sixth straight championship for the Silver High team.
